9 week old puppy having seizures?

Unfortunately, seizures are often brought on by a brain misfiring and there's only so much to be done about it, phenobarbital helps sometimes to control the seizures, sometimes they get more frequent and can't be controlled.

There is very often no way to find a "cause", it's epilepsy, a congenital brain problem.

Hope your pup can be helped with medication.

I have an epileptic dog, the pheno helps her, but it is a constant struggle monitoring what brings the seizures on (excitement, fear, physical stress, just about anything out of the ordinary routine).

Keep an accurate journal of what the circumstances are that trigger the seizures, the duration, and severity and keep consulting with your vet.

MRI doesn't often show anything, nor does any test, so don't think that's much use.

If the dog's seizures cause brain damage, the humane thing would be to euthanize, but most often the seizures can be controlled by medication.

Ladystan --- the dog I have is not a byb dog, she's a lovely, pedigree I took into our rescue because she was heartworm positive and my vet offered to cure her for free if I take her and find her a good home.

It is not always predictable what dog will have seizures, and it is not necessarily due to poor breeding, have a little compassion.

It's really not that big a deal having a blind animal. Unfortunately, what I found out when my cat went blind is that there aren't a lot of resources out there to go to. But animals adapt quickly to being blind. Way better than people do. They rely on their other senses and just move on with life. It will be a lot harder for you and your family to watch and deal with than for your dog, honestly. IF your dog does end up being blind, google "how to live with a blind dog". This will give you some general/basic information. That's all that's out there online. Same as the library or book stores. Basically, I had to just learn on my own through trial and error with my cat, but like I said, they really deal with it fine and aren't much different than any other pet who has it's sight. The main thing you need to do is to keep her food, water and bed in the same place and don't move them and make them as easy and clear to get to as possible. Don't move anything in your house. If you move a chair out to sit in it, put it back when you're done with it. If you normally come home and throw bags or things down on the floor or take your shoes off and throw them somewhere.... you have to stop. Everything has to be picked up off the floor and the floor needs to be open and clear at all times. The dog can't see and can get confused and possibly hurt if she starts tripping over things that aren't normally there. If this really does happen and she eventually does lose her sight, she'll get used to a routine and find her way around fine, though and you two will work it out together whatever works best for the both of you. Best of luck to you!

take back to byb and tell them needs to be put down and you want money back
